Institutions grow slowly like the oak tree. Surface growth is deter- mined not only by soil and moisture but also by the root system which holds it securely anchored against the storms which sweep the landscape. Not only do the roots hold it, they support it even the infinitesimal root hairs are the a ctive agents which take from the soil the food and moisture needed to maintain growth, health and beauty of foliage. So it is with a college. The college must be anchored deep in public esteem and confidence. Its roots must go deep into the soil of public serv- ice. Its trustees, faculty, students, and alumni all contribute to the life, growth, beauty and service of the college. The institution is really the sum total of the work, the love, the thought which enter into or center about the college, not during one year or four years, but during its life time. No act or service is without its effect. Every constructive act adds to the ring of growth and beauty which every year should show. Each incompetence, each failure to measure up to the stature of manhood or womanhood on the part of student, faculty member, or alumnus, leaves its mark, its worm hole. Scars on its trunk and limbs show where parasitic growths have sapped the strength or reputation of the college. This book is a record of the growth of one year. It is a picture of the growth ring of 1937. May the worm holes be few, may the parasites die early, and may the constructive efforts of all Californians be productive. Robert M. Steele THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE
